Punchy pages and cute cousins

After a drought of words, I just wanted to share two recent scrapbook layouts - this photo of Alannah and Sienna is one of my favourite images lately. I've also made a mini album of photos from that little photo shoot, which I'll share in a few weeks or so :) Plus, here is a slideshow video I made of the session!

Each of these layouts was created for Aussie Scrap Source using different kind of punches, for a series that was on the blog last term. I've been enjoying a kind of whimsically watercolour-ish feel to my pages lately.

3 kids & I see Holly Throsby

On the weekend I took the kids to see Holly Throsby in the Famous Spiegeltent at the Arts Centre - I'm getting quite familiar with the place this month! I saw Zoe Keating in the Famous Spiegeltent there (by myself) a few weeks back, and last week saw Red Bull Flying Bach in Hamer Hall there as a sort of unconventional baby shower girls night out for a friend. Both awesome :) And in another week-ish I'll be seeing the Counting Crows also in Hamer Hall with my big sis!

Anyhow, I've had Holly's kids album See since it came out, as I've been a fan of her music for a long time and loved the quirky, catchy and cute kids songs when I heard a couple on myspace. So the kids are quite familiar with the songs and that was great, they got excited to recognise songs and bop along. That is Cedar with his orange blankie around his shoulders in the picture up there.
 

Even though we own the digital album, Sienna wanted her own copy and got it signed by three of the band members (Holly, Bree and Jens) but was disappointed that the viola player didn't come out to sign it as well, she had really liked him. Cedar was not cooperative about being in a photo, lol, which is fine, as Sienna was really the one who wanted to connect with the band :)

Lana and Sienna

Beautiful cousins, cute girls :) I took them out last weekend for a shopping afternoon, followed by a little photo session in a corner of Westfield Fountain Gate, hehe. Was fun, and very cute. I think I might make a little slideshow video of it for them!

Here are a few recent projects for Aussie Scrap Source. I've just noticed I'm liking a watercolour feel in my scrapbooking lately...
